Accelerator for Amiga 600 advice

[alexh]

ACA630 doesn't have an FPU.

You've obviously no idea how much it costs to make an accelerator. The market for new accelerators is already highly diluted by the number of Apollo 620, Apollo 630, ACA-630, ACA-620 accelerators there are in existence already.

Your only chance for a new ACA-630 would be to contact Jens schoenfeld directly and ask him if he has any spare. I believe by law he probably needs to keep back a percentage of spares for warranty replacements. EU warranty lasts for two years.

But your best bet is the second hand market.

Oh and the Furia is a 28MHz 68000 accelerator with 2Mbytes RAM and so is going to be slower than the 16MHz ACA-620 but not by too much.

But when you already got an available board.. how hard is it to just the cpu socket?

You should be asking the question like... "There are no more left... how much would it cost to do another production run?" and the answer must be "too much".

There is an ACA-630/25 for sale over at Amibay with an A600 + A604 for €370. It would have originally cost €250 without the A600. See if you can barter him down.

Do you think it might be worth getting an Indi ECS in the future ?

It really depends on your monitor. If you have a monitor which happily does non interlaced PAL TV (aka 288p@50Hz) then probably not.
